Ide Disk Drive Connector - DFI G7L332-L User Manual

IDE Disk Drive Connector

The IDE header will interface two Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive
Electronics) disk drives. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can
be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned
with pin 1 of the header.
Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable
The IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use
an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drives to the system board. An
IDE ribbon cable have 3 connectors on them, one that plugs into an
IDE connector on the system board and the other 2 connects to
IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master
drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave
drive.
Install one end of the IDE cable into the IDE header on the system
board and the other connectors to the IDE devices.
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user's manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
